I
myself have recently
discovered Unity 3D, and I have been totally blown away by the power
and ease of use of this piece of software.

In my rush to learn Unity 3D as quickly as possible, I have uncovered
lots of fantastic tutorials and resources from around the wev to help
get started using Unity 3D.

And I thought I would share what I have learned here, to help others
Discover Unity and get up to speed even quicker than me!

As well as providing links to all the information I have discovered, I
have also started creating my own Unity 3D Assets, which I will be
making available to all via this website, from ready to use skyboxes,
to powerful scripts which are fully encapsulated and allow you to
change various features via parameters without touching the code
itself! Think of them as black boxes!

Once installed, when you run Unity for the first time, you
will be
prompted with the Welcome to Unity dialog, watch the Video Tutorials,
these are the fastest way to learn the Unity interface, and some basic
operations.

If you find watching video tutorials difficult, click on Unity Basics
toyblocks to view pdf versions of the video tutorials, this way you can
take things in step by step at your pace.

Now
you have learnt the
basics, and are quite confident in navigating your way around Unity,
and able to do some basic stuff, you will want to really get stuck into
the product.

I found a number of tutorial websites, including the Unity website
itself, and here are what I think are your best places to start!

Learn
Me SillyHead
over to Learn
Me Silly, a website dedicated to providing excellent video tutorials on
a number of software products, and the Unity video tutorials are second
to none, and they are FREE, however donations are welcomed, and I
challenge anyone who does not find this information useful not to make
a donation.

Here you will find a five huge Lessons on using Unity, some of
which are broken into seven separate parts, the content here really is
invaluable. Plus all the project source files can be downloaded as well!

UnityTutorials.comThis
is another great website dedicated to Unity 3D tutorials, one of which
is a Police Car Tutorial, this is available for $9.99, it is over 3
hours of instruction, and it shows you how to setup the logic and
scripting for a vehicle, its a great tutorial for anyone interested in
driving type projects. http://unitytutorials.com/Project/project.html

Ok,
so now you know how
to use Unity 3D, and cannot wait to get started on a project
of
your own, however it would be nice to have some ready-made content for
your projects to get you started as quicky as possible!

Well in this section I hope to build a vast library of resources for
Unity 3D users.

The first place to find content for your projects, is in the example
projects from the tutorials above, and also in the Standard Assets that
are added to every new project you create within Unity 3D.

One freebie you will want to download is Terrain Assets from the Unity
website, this is a collection of plants, trees and textures.

Another freebie is a set of 18
FREE
Skyboxes
that I myself have created! Special thanks to 3delyvisions.com
